Sometimes you can get so far in yourself that you don't know who you are.

My optimism wears heavy boots and is loud.

Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.

No such thing as spare time, no such thing as free time, no such thing as down time. All you got is life time. Go.

I am an optimist because I want to change things for the better and I know that blood has to be spilled and disharmony and cruelty are necessary to do that.

I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds

It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew.

I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention. To not be like your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.

Strength is the product of struggle, you must do what others don't to achieve what others won't.

There’s one thing about Black Sabbath which should not be understated: If Black Sabbath is missing any one of its members it’s no longer Black Sabbath.

We all learn lessons in life. Some stick, some don't. I have always learned more from rejection and failure than from acceptance and success.

Be more weary of the fearful than of the brave.

You can't get away from violence in drama. If you do not have conflict, you do not have drama.

[Margaret Thatcher] was always talking about what the prudent housewife should do and what the prudent housewife knew.

When I do public speaking, I ask the audience, "Who has a family member, a neighbor, a friend with some form of disability?" Every single hand goes up. We're all connected.

Money in the hand is real - coins and bills. The rest I don't believe in, and I don't think I ever did, really. What's a check, after all, but a promise - mine, the bank's. Me, I know, but the bank?

Stripped of all their masquerades, the fears of men are quite identical: the fear of loneliness, rejection, inferiority, unmanageable anger, illness and death.

I always tell the younger filmmakers and students: Do it like the painters used to...Study they old masters. Enrich your palette. Expand the canvas. There's always so much more to learn.

The aid we can give each other is only incidental, lateral, and sympathetic.

Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you; be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.
